PlaceKit – Geocoding API and address autocomplete

In plain words

PlaceKit is a worldwide geocoding API and address autocomplete toolkit built as a successor to Algolia Places. It combines OpenStreetMap and local datasets with the Algolia search engine to deliver address searches in under 50 milliseconds. Designed for developers, it offers a single REST API with transparent per-request pricing, lightweight JavaScript libraries compatible with any stack, and integrations across multiple languages. A free plan includes 10,000 monthly requests with full feature access.
